034. Made in Kyoto
The emperor casually ordered Zhang Ying, who was attending the audience, to write an edict for Nan Huairen to fully supervise the red cannon. However, the emperor himself walked out of Nan Study room and went for a walk in the small garden outside, and asked Dai Zi to accompany him.
The emperor asked the eunuchs who were attending each other to stay away from each other to guard the intersection. Then the emperor walked slowly along the path in the garden, and Dai Zi followed behind the emperor. The emperor walked for a while and walked under the flower tree. It was estimated that everyone serving in the distance could not hear the conversation between them, and then asked:
"Dai Zi, what do you prefer to do than design equipment?"
Dai Zi was stunned when he heard this. What was the intention of the emperor's question? Is it a conflict with the design of equipment? It was because of Prince Kang Jieshu's generous treatment for him that he abandoned his pen and joined the army and went to war with the army. Moreover, being able to use the "Singling Bird Gun" he designed for practical combat was indeed Dai Zi's greatest wish.
When Dai Zi thought of this festival, he still answered honestly:
"Your Majesty, I really like to design machinery and weapons manufacturing errands."
The emperor nodded, and Dai Zi's answer satisfied him.
The evaluation of Dai Zi in historical books is eight words: "I am upright and can't speak out." These eight words not only praise Dai Zi's straightforward and honest character, but also indicate the root of Dai Zi's great misfortune in his life. To use modern rhetoric to describe Dai Zi, to put it bluntly, he is just a man who is not smooth enough, does not know how to adapt, and does not know how to deal with people and things.
A middle-aged and young man over 30 is in a sinister and sinister officialdom, and he has such a huge disadvantage as "dare to speak out" (love to offend others). It would be really strange if he is not tripped by others, wears small shoes, and accuses and cheats.
The emperor watched Dai Zi for a long time and finally said meaningfully:
"Dai Zi, the kind of bird gun you made is very good. Let's go back and improve it carefully first. Be sure to increase accuracy and reduce the cost so that it can be manufactured in large quantities. However, this matter must be hidden and must not be known to others. This time, I have assigned you to assist Nan Huairen in supervising the construction of the red cannon, and I will give you a special oral order, so that you must remember it."
When Dai Zi heard that the emperor was going to issue a sacred edict, he quickly knelt down and received the edict carefully.
However, the emperor only said one sentence:
"Listen more, read more, remember more, learn more, and talk less."
Dai Zi felt a stern and immediately bowed his head to thank Long's kindness.
The emperor smiled slightly, waited for Dai Zi to get up, and continued to chat with him and said:
"Dai Zi, you should first learn the artillery making techniques that Nan Huairen is proficient in, and master them all in his heart. You also know that Nan Huairen is a priest from Belgium, and he may not return to China at any time. Besides, his mind is mainly focused on missionary work, and he cannot be specialized in the end. Looking back, I don't want you to continue to be an official. I will build a special Kyoto Equipment Manufacturing Bureau, and you will be fully responsible. In the future, you don't have to participate in the trivial matters in the court, and concentrate on the research on equipment. When you have time, you can compile and write the theoretical knowledge you know in your heart and publish it, and try to teach more disciples who have inherited their legacy, which is better than any fame."
After hearing the emperor's private advice, Dai Zi was excited and excited, wishing to kneel at the emperor's feet and shout long live. He himself understood his shortcomings in character, but sometimes he could not resist the impulse and said bluntly when he thought of anything. When Dai Zi left home to join the army, his father was very worried and repeatedly warned him that the officialdom must be cautious in his words and actions. However, Dai Zi was arrogant and could not control his mouth. He had just worked in the Ministry of Works for a short time, and his friends did not make friends, but offended many colleagues. But then again, sometimes, when he watched his colleagues make stupid mistakes or do wrong things repeatedly, he could not blame them in person. He felt frustrated and endured.
After the heart-warming conversation between the emperor and Dai Zi came to an end, the emperor took the imperial chariot to the inner palace to pay a routine greeting. Since the emperor had decided that he would arrange Dai Zi to take up a job in the Central Government Office in the future, which was a very respectable, knowledgeable person, and very clear-headed approach. It can be regarded as a way to pave the pure scientific research path that Dai Zi, a great inventor, had for the rest of his life.
The so-called genius in the world has too high IQ and focuses on academic research. The result of emotional intelligence in interpersonal training may be relatively weak, which is reasonable. How to maintain and take care of it is very important.
After Dai Zi sued his majesty, he immediately left the Forbidden Palace. However, he couldn't stop showing a pleasant smile on his face while walking. The emperor was really a confidant of "Wen Kai" throughout his life.
※
The attention of the emperor in Cining Palace today is colorful and colorful.
The Empress Dowager was in charge of the inner court for many years, and she heard the most gods and was the most informed. She held the emperor's hand tightly and said with pain:
"Emperor, you are the lord of a country. Take care of the dragon body is the most important thing. Don't hurt your mind for national affairs. This time, the longevity is not the birthday. No matter how you give birth to the place, you are just for fun. Your Majesty must not worry about the expenses. Leave everything to the emperor's grandmother. The Ai family will take care of you personally, and don't pay a penny of silver in the warehouse."
When the emperor heard the old lady say such caring words, his heart warmed up, and his nose felt sour and moved, and he was about to cry again. After enduring it, the emperor pretended to be angry, but with a smile on his face, he said to the Empress Dowager:
"Grandma, are you deliberately making me feel sorry for me? I am a grandchild and I can't even be filial to you, so how can I still worry about you?"
The Empress Dowager was also amused by the emperor's strange appearance and said to him with a smile:
"Since the emperor is not happy to worry about the emperor's grandmother, the Ai family will not have much trouble. By the day of Wanshou, we simply put the longevity noodles at the Ai family. Our mothers gather together to eat a bowl of noodles and talk homely, which is also a waste of time. But there is one thing that the emperor has to agree to the Ai family..."
When the emperor heard this, he looked at the Empress Dowager and his expression became solemn.
The old lady came to the emperor's ears with a serious matter, whispering softly, but explained to him extremely seriously:
"Emperor, you are not allowed to cry again in the future. The emperor's grandmother feels very distressed."
The emperor closed his eyes hard, and when he opened it again, it was indeed clear.
The emperor clenched the Empress Dowager's fat hands hard, and said with a slight smile:
"Old lady, I just want to worry."
These words were both rude and extremely close, and the Empress Dowager couldn't help but laugh.
The emperor was in a very good mood and looked around the many beautiful concubines, and was also kind and kind.
Suddenly, the emperor saw Zhao Jia, the little nobleman standing in the last few people in the crowd. She was dressed in a bright and fresh manner.
When the little nobleman Zhao Jia saw the emperor's gaze looking at him, he felt a sense of silence in his heart for some reason, and blushed and lowered his head.
However, at this time, the emperor couldn't help but feel a sense of silence, as if he was quite self-deprecating and smiled awkwardly.
This inexplicable and indescribable smile fell into the eyes of the concubines who were unclear, and Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar immediately increased its price and became Feitian sour vinegar. The other three little nobles standing beside Zhao Jia at the same time, clenched the handkerchief in their hands tightly, and were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

The most worthy focus of this chapter is illustrations.
The Emperor wrote an inscription for Dai Zi inscribed by himself.
Haha, some words, the title seems elegant in the picture.
However, it is quite a bit charming when you pick it into the novel.
The emperor said ten thousand words to Dai Zi, but he was not as good as the essence of the short passage in the illustration.
Dai Zi, if you can't understand the emperor's good intentions, you will really become a "wanderer".
